Six days out and a mountain to climb

1664

Over the last few days we have worked with Mary’s Meals to identify a second school without basic facilities in one of the most deprived areas of the world.  We have confirmed St Josephs’ Primary School in Kasungu, Malawi (the 17th poorest country in the world), which has a roll of 746 pupils and no facilities to provide food, meaning many children have to work to feed themselves instead of being educated.

The necessary permissions have been confirmed, and Mary’s Meals can send resources there as soon as money is available.  If we are successful, St Joseph’s will get a brick-built kitchen which will double as a classroom with stoves, pots, utensils, spoons and mugs.  As a result, kids will attend school to get what on many occasions will be their only meal of the day.  They will also get an education and better chances in later life.

The cost of the kitchen is £7000.  We are only six days out from CQteN so we shouldn’t expect miracles but we’ll be here until the job is done.

Construction is underway at our first school at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinji, Malawi, which has a school roll of 1221 children.

We have a donations page for CQN Mary’s Meals’ projects, if you would like to help out, you can do so here.

Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches this month.

“There were 10 in our party and collecting the tickets took priority. Once we had them we could afford time to eat, but what? Several restaurants were sold out but we eventually found a café with frozen chips and a meat-based slab of something or other. No choices. No beer, wine or cola either, it was diluting orange juice or water. An entire city was pretty much emptied of food and drink.”

    I was given the CD containing the Sinead O’Connor and the Chieften’s version of the foggy due by Mick Jagger’s PA — whose brother lived down the road from me.

     

     

    On the same album he sang Long Black Veil with Mick and the boys.

     

     

    Anyway — combining the world of SOAL and the cowboy boot theme:

    Bit of a commotion outside just now.

     

     

    Police arrested two kids, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.

     

     

    They charged one and let the other one off

    A midget complained to his friend that his testicles ached all the time. Fearing the worst for his little buddy, he suggested that he go to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

     

     

    The midget took his advice and went to a physician & outlined the malady to him. The doctor, concerned, told him to drop his pants so that he might examine him. The midget did as he was told and dropped his pants (a short drop!). The doctor then lifted him up onto the examining table & proceeded with the exam. Putting one finger under his left testicle, the doctor told the midget to cough, which he did. “Ah!” mumbled the doc and putting his finger under the right one asked him to cough again, which he did. “Ahhh!” said the doctor once again and reached for his surgical scissors. Snip, snip, snip on the right side and then snip, snip, snip on the left side.

     

     

    He then told the midget to pull up his pants and see if he still ached. The midget was delighted with the result. He walked around the doc’s office and his testicles did not ache. What did you do Doc?” he asked.

     

     

    The doc replied dryly, “I cut two inches off the tops of your cowboy boots.”

    On the cowboy theme

     

     

    Two ranch hands watching the herd of cattle being serviced by the bull.

     

    One says ” that bull has just serviced about thirty cows”

     

    His buddy says ” It has also serviced the rest of the cows in that field”

     

    Cowboy one says” How does he do that without stopping”

     

    His buddy says” We get tablets from the vet for the bull to keep him going”

     

    Cowboy one says ” I am going out with a new girlfriend tonight, do you think you could give me a couple of those tablets”

     

    His buddy said ” The tablets are very strong, but I suppose I could give you one, but watch what you are doing”

     

     

    Next day they meet up and cowboy one is shaking and trembling, red eyed, and looking completely shattered.

     

    His buddy says ” How did you get on”

     

    He replied ” Twenty seven times”

     

    Buddy says ” Twenty seven times, it’s a wonder you never broke your back”

     

     

    ” Broke my back, I nearly broke my wrist, she never turned up”
